I notice nothin’ but your looks. If a pic of you isn’t attached I blow right past it. Personality is for losers.

have a blast!!! i’ll throw some jealousy in the pool.
so, I made it back a few hours ago, but after I let out the dog, I fell on my bed and took a nap.
for now, you get the bobbi-short version.
I have weak abs, weak glutes, tight hips and ankles.
I overhead squat QUITE well, but not perfect (teeny bit o lumbar flexion)
I can do a pistol/1 leg squat (didnt know this before today)
we got out bodyfat tested with a 10+ site caliper test (find out results later, im guessing 18)
I did not molest anyone, I was a perfectly normal human being the whole trip.
hahaha perfectly normal? What are the criteria? Just not being a molester?
weak abs…weak glutes??? what does this mean for the rest of us, for cryin’ out loud. at least your ass looks good even if it’s weak.
im sorry you didn’t have the pleasure of molesting anyone.
i’m happy you were a normal human being for the whole trip, as were your companions i’m sure.
How did you do your pistol? Just sat down and got up or was there some kind of progression?

mike-“ok, now do a 1 legged squat.”
bear-“you mean a pistol?”
mike-“yeah.”
bear-“Oh, you mean a negative. I can’t do one.”
mike-“do it.”
bear-“I’m gonna fall over when I get to the bottom.”
mike-“do it.”
bear-“can I hold onto the sides of the power rack on the way up?”
mike-“no. now do it.”
does a 1 legged squat/pistol
mike- laughs. hard. bc of the argument.
bear-“i really had no idea. Honest. what the crap.”
so, even if I didnt molest anyone, there were still shenanigans. around 830, when we were coming back from breakfast in the hotel, I saw an empty laundry cart outside our room. Being ME, I started to hop in and said, “Hey, someone wanna push me around?” completely expecting one or all of the other 3 to say some version of, “No, you promised you’d be good, now grow up.”
so instead Sbmart says, “Sure! I will! But wait… you need a suitable helmet!” and scurried into our room to find something to put on top of my head. The room had a kitchenette with dishes and such, so she came back with a colander, pronounced it a perfect helmet, and placed it on my head.
it was at this point that Molly insisted we have video, so I leaped out of the laundry cart and bounded into the room, retrieved my camera, and she ran to the end of the hall.
what followed:
We have a PhD, an MBA, a pharmacy technician, and the 4th woman is some kind of social sciences major, I forget exactly what she does.
On paper, we sound like grownups.
saw this when i stopped to go to the bathroom on my way home. I lol’d bc it looks like the parent is about to throttle the child.
people keep telling me I’ll change my mind about wanting babies. It’s subtle cues like this that tell me, naaaaah.
Dammit I wish I were there.
Cbear, after watching the fuck video, i thought you would like another one done with a foreign accent.
What we want to hear starts at about 1:30, but really starts at 2:20.
Keep up the great training and *2 on the ability to sleep in alot on some days.
You know, people said that to me (about wanting kids). I got the whole “oh wait until your clock starts ticking.”
I’m 42 now and it hasn’t ticked once. Some of us just aren’t meant to breed.
Oh and thought you might appreciate this - I took it in Japan last year.
That wobbling helmet was awesome. And you said “perfectly normal.”
Seriously, if you have weak abs and glutes, well then…I just don’t know.
Glad you had fun!
ya, how can you have weak glutes, if you can do a pistol?
splain.
I’m curious about the weak glute thing too. What in the test brought out that assessment? What exercise skill indicates strong glutes??

I think the main mover in pistols is quads.
I could be wrong…
Hai, Claire.

That is so interesting. I’d love to hear Mike’s suggested fix for the weak glutes. One side or both?
And, how did he test for weak abs?
Laundry cart video FTW!

ya, I was thinking the same, but still!
oh, hey!
weak abs and glutes compared to what they SHOULD be. I fix those, I automatically get stronger. As in, what I’m capable of and what I’m doing are two different things. Which is cool in one way that I can get a whole lot better by fixing a few things, but crappy in that i have lagging issues.
weak abs were revealed by the amt of time I can hold front and side planks, (done CORRECTLY… i was doin em with bad form), weak glutes were a diff test… laying on your stomach, raising a straight leg, being able (or not) to reist force.
